👉 A switch fluid, also known as a valve actuator fluid or control fluid, is a specialized liquid used in mechanical systems to facilitate the operation of various components such as valves, pumps, and actuators. These fluids are designed to transmit signals or control signals from a control system to the mechanical parts, enabling precise and efficient operation. The fluid typically circulates through channels or passages within the system, carrying electrical or mechanical signals that trigger actions like opening or closing valves, adjusting pump speeds, or activating actuators. By providing a medium for these signals to travel, switch fluids ensure that the mechanical components respond accurately and reliably to the control inputs, thus maintaining the system's performance and functionality.
